I graduated in 1964 with a B.S. in Pre-Professional studies. I completed my MD degree at LSUMC in NO in1968. I did an Internship at Charity
Hospital in NO 68-69. After 2 years in Uncle Sam's Army I completed my residency
in Urology in 1975. I spent 7 years in Academic medicine at LSUMC -NO and from 1979-82 was
Chairman of the Dept. of Urology.
I built River Parishes Hospital in Laplace, La. and left LSUMC-NO to
go into full time private practice June 1982. I am still a Clinical Professor of Urology and present lectures in Male Fertility(Andrology) problems to the
Junior Med students each 12 week block.
I've been married to Wanda Garcia since 1968 and we have 3 children.
Our youngest, Jonathan graduated from ND in May,1999 with a degree in Finance-Magna cum Laude. He married an ND
classmate, Katie Hellend. They now live in Danbury,CT. Our only
grandson, Collin Laird Shannon, who will be one year old on April 13 already is able to recognize the VICTORY MARCH when I play it. He loves to 'Cheer'
as I play.
I still remain close to O'B(Robert O'Brien) who is now living in the
St. Paul retirement home in South Bend. We talk @once per month. He would love to hear from other Band Alumni.
